M1 - Friday Night at The Meadowlands



The first Friday card of the Fall Meet at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment shapes up as a horseplayers delight. A bounty of entries for the overnight classes resulted in a thirteen race card with all but two of the races filling to the ten horse maximum.

The Friday night feature is race eleven, the highest class overnight trot of the week as seven square-gaiters face off in a pari-mutuel puzzler. Up Front Billy has the look of a top contender in this one for trainer Mark Ford, who owns the near half million dollar winning son of Andover Hall with Up Front Racing. Tim Tetrick has the drive.

The guaranteed pools for Friday are the $25,000G Pick 5 that kicks off the card, the early Pick 4 (races 3 - 6 at $30,000G) and late Pick 4 (races 7 - 10 at $50,000G) along with plenty of Pick 3's and dime superfectas.

On the promotional front, the lead is the 'Black Friday Gift Card Sweepstakes' with $2,500 in giveaway and that Friday fan favotite 'Beat The Boss'.

First post on Friday is 7:15pm.
